Sadly, Joe Davis and Kevin Austin passed away in November 2018 and during 2019 we also lost Lindsay Parsons, Junior Agogo and Stuart Taylor.
As a result of our fundraising events we have been able to help or commemorate the lives of all five former players.
We have also offered assistance with funeral costs and £1,050 has helped those who have accepted.
Gas defender Kevin Austin passed away on 23rd November 2018, at the age of just 45 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Our memories of his life can be found here. We donated £150 to St. Luke’s as a memory to Kevin and in May 2020 we will be helping to bring together former Rovers players and former Swansea City players for a benefit / testimonial match at the Mem jointly in aid of Rovers’ Academy Head of Medical Services Steve Bissix and a charity chosen by Kevin’s family.
